Write a reviewWongabel State Forest, just south of Atherton in Far North Queensland, protects a remnant of the endangered mabi forest, less than two per cent of which now remains. In 1903, red cedar seedlings were planted in the forest to replace the mature trees which were logged from the area. Commercial plantations of Hoop, Kauri and Caribbean pine grow beside native forest. Find out about the area's Aboriginal culture and history along the Heritage Trail, a 655 metre walk through the forest or take the longer 2.2 kilometre route, the Wongabel Forest Walk. Learn about rainforest trees from signs along the Wongabel Forest Walk. Interpretive signs tell of the area's history, as well as forestry practices and local ecology. Both tracks are wheelchair-accessible, but assistance may be required for the longer walk. Go spotlighting at night and look for Lumholtz's tree-kangaroos and many different possums. Braille booklets and audio headsets are available from the visitor centre in Atherton. Learn about rainforest trees from signs along the Wongabel Forest walk.
